To the Divine Woman

From the bottom of my heart, I swear I'm sorry.

that he treated you that way

that all the he's treated you that way.

Nevermind these lies they told

they were just afraid,

afraid of the raw power that is a strong woman

yet we find ourselves at the cusp of a new era

an era in which I as a man must atone

for I understand that I must do better

I must love deeper.

For you are of the rarest jewels

your very anatomy is that of a blessing

a blessing that promises life

for who is a man to dictate how that life experiences its journey?

I've been silent long enough, as a man

and can no longer bear such a heavy heart.

We must do better, we must love deeper,

while I know men have seemed to embody

such evil, such irreverence,

yet darling trust,

that I am no such man.

I feel your pain.

I empathize with your isolation.

True, I do not have the flesh of a woman,

I do not bleed in the sacred manner of the moons as you do,

yet and still I deeply honor you.

And now darling, may we restore the balance,

for I know how strong and independent you are.

I know how powerful you are.

You don't need anyone, let alone a man,

yet I still stand by you,

just in case you feel you may ever need a helping hand, an ally of sorts, an upstander of truth, love, and justice.

True, I am not a woman

but I know that this is your time,

our time

to make up for the darkness the was the past hour

we are strongest together, my love

as we both remain sovereign and free!

Together we have a whole new world to build!

for the queen, the Goddess, that you inherently are,

and may you be forever revered.
